Ruhana was leaving the bureau when her gaze met with Vineet. She moved closer to him..

"Agar apni behen se zara sa bhi pyar karte ho na toh apne decision ko sochna." shs said and left.

Lifeline Hospital

She entered the bureau to find a panicked Sachin on the reception. She rushed to him….
“Kya hua? Kya kiya Angel ne??”

“Main usse milne gaya tha Ruhana. Wo paagal hai, but aisi immature harkat wo nahi kar sakti, par usne kiya. usne neend ki goliyan kha li!” worried sachin split out his anger.

“what!!! But tu toh wahin tha na??” Ruhana asked.

Sachin banged his hand on the wall….

"mujhe pehle pahunchna chahiye tha, par jab tak main pahunchta, madam goliyan nigal chuki thi…aur ye letter mila mujhe wahan!!” he handed the letter to Ruhana and she was shocked to read it.

Angel was frustrated with what Vineet had asked her to do and she was against it. She didn't want to forget Sachin, neither she wanted to marry anyone else. Moreover, Sachin wasn't listening and so the threatening she gave to Vineet she made it true.  Ruhana looked at him….

“but wo aisa kar kaise sakti hain?” she said.

“jaake uske bhai se pucho!” sachin replied angrily.

Meanwhile, the doctor came out calling for Sachin. Sachin rushed to her.
“Yes Doctor….is angel fine??” he asked.

“dekhiye Mr.Sachin, hume unka operation karna hoga…we need your permission…please sign these papers” she forwarded the paper.

Ruhana and sachin exchanged glances and sachin signed the papers. The doctor asked them to wait and went into her cabin. Sachin sat on the  bench, while Ruhana pressed his shoulder…

“Relax! Kuch nahi hoga usey! She will be fine!”

“Dekh Ruhana, agar Angel ko kuch hua na…toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. Uski is haalat ka zimmedar Vineet hai!” he said angrily.

“ Angel ko hua kya hai??” they heard a voice and looked up to find Vineet there. Ruhana turned to the other side ignoring him. Sachin looked at him…

“Angel Operation Theatre mein hain. Uski jo yeh haalat hai na…tumhari wajah se hain…samjhe!  Na tum usey kuch kehte, na wo yeh sab karti.” he replied angrily.

“Par usne kiya kya hai??” vineet asked again as he was unknown to the whole matter. He was only told by his neighbors that Angel was taken to the hospital.

Sachin laughed sarcastically.

”Ohh..tumhe toh pata nahi hoga na. Main nahi jaanta tumhe mujhse problem kya hai, par yeh zarur jaanta hoon, ki jo tum kar rahe ho na, usse tum apni behen ko kho doge. Aur agar usey kuch hua na ….toh….toh tum nahi jaante main kya kya kar sakta hoon.”

“wo tumhe manane ki hi koshish kar rahi thi…chahati thi ki jo wo kare, usme tumhari consent ho. Aur tumne kya kiya….usey dukhi kiya. Vineet, kisi ek ne tumhare saath bura kiya, uska yeh matlab nahi ki har koi karega. main Angel se pyar karta hoon….main chahta toh usey le ja skta tha apne sath…par nahi….main chahta tha ki jo kuch ho usme tumhari consent ho kyunki sirrf tum hi uski family ho….par nahi, tumne usey maut ke muh mein pahuncha diya. She ate sleeping pills, ek nahi us bottle ki sari pills kha li usne. ”  He shouted at him.

Vineet was shocked. He looked at Ruhana.

“Ruhana…” but was cut by him.

“Sab kuch jaante ho na….kya sahi hai aur kya galat! Toh ab khud hi faisla karo. Mujhse kisi madad ki ummeed mat rkhna..” she replied coldly and left from there.

Vineet sat on the bench shattered. Tears welled up in his eyes. Angel’s voice was echoing in his ears…

“Bhai,main sachin se pyar karti hoon. Please samjho na.”

“wo waisa nahi hai jaise aap samajh rahe ho.”

“thik hai…aapko jo karna hai karo…ab main bhi wahi karungi jo mujhe karna hoga…”

And something what she said in their childhood also came in his mind, when on Rakshabandhan, she used to tie rakhi to him and hug him saying…

“aap toh world ke best bhai ho!!”

Tears rolled down his eyes as he saw Angel through the mirror. The operation was going on…

“Main tera world best bhai nahi hoon na Angel…bahut bura hoon main. “

“Maaf kar de….ab wahi karunga jo tu kahegi….” He spoke through tears.

  Sachin was in front of the small temple in the hospital premises, standing with joined hands, praying for his love. Tears rolled down his eyes, as he remembered her , her silly talks, her silly demands, and he just prayed for her wellbeing.
Ruhana watched these two people. It was difficult for her to see them in tears. She rubbed off her tears and left the hospital.

A while Later, The doctor came out of the OT and found both Sachin and Vineet there.  He called for him and asked…

“Vineet kaun hai??”

“Jee main hoon…meri behen thik toh hai na??” Vineet came asking worriedly.

Doctor sighed…”Mr, Vineet, aaiye…mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hai.”

“Doctor is Angel fine?” sachin asked.
Doctor Patted his shoulder…”she is fine…baaki wo hosh mein aayegi tab pata chalega…aap chinta mat kijiye…and Vineetji, aap aaiye…”

Vineet followed the doctor while Sachin sighed as his Angel was fine. He  called Ruhana who told him that she'll be back in a while.
